When I visited Loughborough for the very first time, after viewing other universities, I immediately got the feeling that this was there I wanted to be. I loved how large and green the campus was and that all the academic buildings were on one site for easy access.
I really wanted a fun and social university experience, paired with excellent teaching, so I was really drawn in by Loughborough being ranked within the top ten UK universities and number one for overall student satisfaction.
The Human Biology course is amazing at providing a wide variety of in-depth laboratory experience. Forming compulsory components of a large number of modules, you can easily find yourself on an exercise bike performing physiology tests, or in a wet-lab analysing DNA and being suspended in a pool of water to assess your body density.
Lab sessions provide crucial experience that is extremely useful on your CV and definitely helped me secure a job following graduation. You’ll learn a lot of new, transferrable skills surrounding the planning, execution and analysis of experiments, which definitely helps in building up your knowledge so that you can perform well in your research project in final year.
